Dear Participants and Speakers of NRC 2011,We like to thank you all for making the NRC 2011 a great success. It is always challenging to set up a interesting and catching program. This year we tried something new with three Tutorial groups and one SOP-group (see photo below). The feedback on these different groups was very good and something we will continue in future conferences.
